Prerequisites

Before installing PHP Censor on Manjaro, you need to have the following prerequisites:

• Manjaro installed on your system
• Apache web server installed and running
• PHP and MySQL installed and configured
• Composer installed

Step 1: Download PHP Censor

First, you need to download the latest version of PHP Censor from the official GitHub repository. You can either download the ZIP file or use the Git command to clone the repository. Open a terminal and run the following command to clone the PHP Censor repository:

git clone https://github.com/php-censor/php-censor.git

Step 2: Install Dependencies

Next, you need to install the required dependencies for PHP Censor. Navigate to the PHP Censor directory and run the following command:

composer install

This will install all the required dependencies for PHP Censor.

Step 3: Configure PHP Censor

Now, you need to configure PHP Censor by creating a configuration file. Copy the config.yml.dist file to config.yml using the following command:

cp config.yml.dist config.yml

Open the config.yml file with your favorite text editor and configure the settings according to your requirements. Make sure to set the correct database credentials, email settings, and other parameters.

Step 4: Create Database

Create a database for PHP Censor using the following command:

mysql -u root -p -e "CREATE DATABASE php_censor;"

Replace root with your MySQL username and php_censor with your preferred database name.

Step 5: Initialize Database

Initiate the database by running the following command:

./bin/console phinx migrate -c app/phinx.yml

This will create the necessary database tables and schema for PHP Censor.

Step 6: Create Virtual Host

Create a virtual host for PHP Censor by creating a new configuration file in the /etc/httpd/conf/extra directory. You can name the file anything you want with the .conf extension. Open the file with your favorite text editor and add the following lines:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName php-censor.local
    DocumentRoot /path/to/php-censor/public

    <Directory /path/to/php-censor/public>
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Replace /path/to/php-censor with the actual path to your PHP Censor installation directory. Save the file and exit the text editor.

Step 7: Restart Apache

Restart the Apache web server to apply the changes by running the following command:

sudo systemctl restart httpd.service

Step 8: Access PHP Censor

You can now access PHP Censor by opening a web browser and navigating to http://php-censor.local. If you followed the previous steps correctly, you should see the PHP Censor login page.
